HERE AND THERE- “There are three things I wish you would keep pecking at through the columns of your pa per until we get them,” said a well known citizen this week. ‘ One is an up-to-date, first-class hotel, built on modern lines, for the benefit of our summer visitors as well as for the transient travel. Why some of our enterprising m6n with money don’t organize a com pany, or build it themselves, I can’t see, as such an enterprise iB a crying need. Until we get such a hotel we cannot hope to get our share of summer visitors, which, on accouut of the building of the new electric line, will naturally come this way. Put a little gin ger under some of ’em, and maybe you can wake somebody np enough to cause them to build such a hotel as I have suggested. “The two other things to which I refer are—the laying of a water main on Race street, so as to give the people over in that part of town the necessary protection they are entitled to, as well as the convenience of the city water ser vice, and the extension of Park street. These improvements are almost absolute necessities, and our city fathers should heed the call of the numerous citizens in the Northeastern part of the city.” We are getting to be too big a city not to have a building inspector anyhow.” *% A “And while you are at it,” spoke up a by-stander, “just tell ’em that the necessity for opening up a street running from Green to Race street has grown to be a greater necessity since the build ing of the electric line than it was before. There are scores of peo- to be convenienced by the opening of such a street, and the great car line will be of no earthly use to them unless they can get a way tq get to and from it without walk ing as far as they would nave to walk in getting to and from town. Some have said that objectionable houses would be erected on the street, that is to say, negro houses. This trouble could be easily obviated by the passage of anjordinance providing for a building inspector, or re quiring each person in the city who wishes to build a house, no matter of what character, to se cure a permit for the same. Such an ordinance is needed anyway, and should be passed whether this particular street is opened or net. “I find the people are divided on the question of issuing bonds to build good roads in Hall coun ty,” said a gentleman who lives in the country, when asked for the news a day or two ago. “There is no question that they are sick and tired of the bad roads we have had this winter, but when it comes to voting on a bond issue it is the greatest bugaboo you ever heard tell of. I don’t have any idea what an election would result in, but it would certainly have some vigorous opponents. How ever, there are many good people in the county who want perma nent roads built, realizing that the same would be of incalculable benefit to them, as well as in crease the valne of their property to a considerable degree. “I no tice,” continued the gentleman, ‘‘that in some sections the govern ment has discontinued the service of free delivery in the country die* tricts because of the bad roads. It would come as a great blow to us here in Hall county, now that we have just been allowed five new rural free delivery routes, if the government should cut us of? because of our very bad roads. If the opportunity presents itself, I am going to vote for the bond issne, because I believe in prog ress, and in helping to enhance the' value of my property, as well as that of my neighbor’s.” A “Isn’t it funny how people get nicknames, and how they stick to 'em,” said a gentleman a few days ago, in discussing an acquaint ance. “Take the two Reed’s for instance—‘Lying Joe' and ‘Joe Bacon.’ The former got his nick name because of his well known proclivities for lying, and the lat ter because he hid some bacon, which his comrades had stolen, during the war, and the where abouts of which he would not di vulge so his superior officers, even on threat of being courtmartialed. ‘Lying Joe' and ‘Joe Bacon* will stick to ’em as long as they live. And then there’s the Elrod boys in upper Hall. One is called jnst plain John—he’s as plain as an old shoe, and honest, too—and another is known as ‘Smoking John,’ because he smokes so much, and still another is called 'Grumbling John,’ because he is forever and eternally grumbling. It is told of ‘Grumbling John’ that he went to church one dryj hot, sunshiny day and while wait ing for the services to begin he commenced grumbling about the dry weather, ‘I’ll bet it stays dry and hot so long that not a flat grain of corn will I make this year. ’ He hadn’t got the words out of his mouth before a cl cud came up out of the southwest, and a lond peal of thunder was heard. ‘Thar now,’ said ‘Grumbling John,’ 'I’ll bet it rams so much that I can’t get to plow my com in six weeks, and narry-a-grain will I make.’ ‘Grumbling John.’ like many others, grumbles both ways—nothing ever suits him— grumbles when it’s dry because it (Continued on fourth page.)
